Applying the techniques of traditional Chinese paintings, FUNG works primarily with fine brushes and uses deep colour shades which create a dusky ambiance within her works. Inspired by her own life experiences and perceptions, she reflects the emotional linkages between humans and human-animals through depiction of the cities and wildlifes.
